Frances Stevens Reese Woodland Trail Guide

The Woodland Trail was opened to the public on October 21, 1997. Boscobel's Board of Directors adopted a formal decision of naming the Woodland Trail in honor of the former Boscobel Board member, Frances Stevens Reese (1917—2003), one year after her death.

The trail is approximately 10 miles in length, leading down to Constitution Forest. When the West Point Glass Factory was operating during the Civil War, trees for miles around were cleared to provide firewood. Walking out of the forest, you will find a large mass of native hard rock about three billion years old.

Throughout this country path, you will find picture boards identifying birds and plants local to this region. You will also find signs with historical and environmental information written by area specialists.

When you take a walk through this “undiscovered” forest land, please be a considerate guest.

¡ñBefore walking along the trail, please purchase a pass in the Carriage House. Plan ahead, so you will be back by closing time.

¡ñFollow the trail markers and remain on the trail. Besides protecting the fragile forest ecosystem, you will reduce the risk of getting hurt by poisonous plants and snakes.

¡ñLeave rocks, plants, animals and artworks where you see them so that the person behind you can have the same experience.

¡ñCarry out whatever you carry in because there are no rubbish containers on the trail. If you happen to see a piece of litter, be a good guest and pick it up.
